The 'Intifada': Globalizing Terror

On October 7, 2023, the world watched as unspeakable evil was unleashed on Israel. Hamas terrorists poured across the border with one purpose: slaughter. What followed was a medieval orgy of blood—women raped, babies burned, families gunned down in their homes. Jewish men and women were dragged through the streets, tortured, filmed, and celebrated by mobs.

And in the days since, what has the world done?

Instead of outrage, there’s been applause.

This weekend in Boulder, Colorado, that same terror ideology showed its face again—this time on American soil. During a peaceful walk at the Pearl Street Mall intended to raise awareness for Israeli hostages still held by Hamas, a man identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly attacked innocent Americans. According to reports, he used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, targeting elderly men and women while screaming “Free Palestine.” At least eight people, ranging in age from 52 to 88, were burned—some critically. One of them was a Holocaust survivor.

This was not a “protest.” This was not “activism.” This was attempted mass murder.

And yet, how did the usual suspects respond?

They looked away. Or worse—rationalized it.

You cannot separate the ideology of October 7th from the Molotovs of June 1st. They are cut from the same bloody cloth. The slogans may be shouted in different languages—Arabic in Gaza, English in Colorado—but the message is the same: terror for political ends, hatred for Jews, and the fantasy of “Palestinian liberation.”

Let’s be clear. Palestine does not exist. It never has. There has never been a sovereign state of “Palestine” in the history of the world. The term was a Roman propaganda invention, meant to erase “Judea” from the map after Jewish resistance to occupation. Since then, it has been used not to define a nation, but to deny one—Israel.

“Free Palestine” is not a call for freedom. It is a genocidal chant that means only one thing: the destruction of Israel. The obliteration of Jews. And increasingly, the annihilation of anyone in the West who stands in their way.

ANTI-SEMITISM

French President Emmanuel Macron is still grasping for the fig leaf of diplomacy, trying to placate the radical Islamic factions with words and concessions. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu understands what the moment demands: the total destruction of Hamas. Not a ceasefire. Not a compromise. Not a UN resolution. Eradication.

But if Europe is surrendering, then America is sleepwalking.

Our universities have turned into radical breeding grounds. Harvard, Columbia, Yale, and countless others have allowed anti-Semitic extremism to flourish under the guise of “social justice.” Jewish students are chased into libraries. Israeli speakers are canceled or assaulted. Professors openly praise the Hamas attacks as acts of “decolonization.”

And from the Hollywood Hills, actors like Billy Baldwin add their voice to the madness. Baldwin recently posted, once again, “Free Palestine.” Let’s be honest: when you tweet that slogan today, you are siding with the monsters who burned grandmothers in Boulder. That’s not activism—that’s propaganda for terrorists.

What’s worse? The man hurling Molotov cocktails at the elderly? Or the elite who defend him under the cloak of progressive rhetoric?

The Boulder attack wasn’t just an assault on a group of peaceful marchers. It was a signal flare. A warning. The global intifada is here. The anti-Semitic rage once confined to Hamas tunnels and Tehran television is now strutting openly on American streets. The jihad has been Westernized.

If you think this is just about Israel, think again.

This is about civilization.

The people hurling Molotovs in Boulder don’t just want Israel gone—they want us gone. The America that values freedom, faith, law, and life. The West itself.

And it’s time to stop pretending that there’s some moral middle ground. There isn’t.

There is no “neutral” position between the people who burn children alive and the people trying to stop them. There is no academic justification for torching octogenarians. There is no nuance to be found in the screams of a Holocaust survivor being attacked in a Colorado shopping mall.

The intifada has gone global. It’s not about land. It’s not about borders. It’s about blood. It’s about erasure. And the line is drawn.

Palestine—again—does not exist. It never did. And it never will. Because what it really stands for isn’t peace or statehood. It stands for death.

You’re either with us or you’re with the terrorists.

There is no middle ground.

Not anymore.
